“(Hands-On-History Days) are very popular,” said Sheri Brown, workshop coordinator with Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster. Brown noted that Hands-On-History Days began as a day for homeschoolers to visit the museum. “(The event) has changed over the past 19 years to three days that we celebrate in October,” she added.
Hands-On-History Days, which were not held or were modified during the past two years due to COVID-19 restrictions, will return on Thursdays, Oct. 13, 20, and 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. A per-person admission fee will be charged, but Landis Valley Associates members may attend for free, as can children age 5 and under. Groups of 10 or more are required to make reservations prior to attending.
“The whole purpose is to have (the activities) be hands on,” said Brown, who noted that the events will be fall themed. One of the most popular places to visit is an authentic schoolhouse, where a lesson based on a fall poem will be taught. “We use McGuffey Readers and historic books for our lesson plan,” said Brown, who noted that the schoolhouse was donated and moved to the site from Snake Hill Road in Leola. “(Students) work with a slate and chalk, and they learn elocution, (through what) we call tongue twisters today,” she said.

Hands-On-History Days will give visitors to Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum a chance to participate in chores, lessons, and crafts from the 1700s and 1800s.
Students will also have opportunities to take part in farm chores from the 1700s and 1800s. “They will stuff a mattress with straw, so they get a true feel for a lumpy mattress,” said Brown, who added that bedding was generally changed a couple times a year. “They will learn how laundry was done with a scrubbing board and the old-fashioneddryer called a clothesline,” she added. Students will also learn to build a snake fence, so named because of its zig-zag shape. “The bonus is those fences can be moved quickly,” explained Brown.
Organizers have turned a traditional Pennsylvania German folk art into a make-and-take craft for the event. “We will make scherenschnitte pumpkins and leaves they can take home,” said Brown, who said that at home, students can enhance their simple fallthemed decorations with watercolors or crayons.
In addition, museum staff members will be provide demonstrations and interpretations in areas such as tavern cooking, blacksmithing, leatherworking, and weaving.

He looks sort of like a baby Bigfoot, and he’s rumored to live somewhere in the Columbia area. He also loves apples. He’s the Albatwitch, and he’ll be celebrated at the ninth annual Albatwitch Day, to be held on Saturday, Oct. 8. The festival will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Columbia River Park, 41 Walnut St.
Although the official festival does not begin until 11 a.m., Vera noted that Ryan Sexton will be giving tours of the dungeon below the Columbia Market House, 15 S. Third St., from 9 a.m. to noon. “It’s a nice way to give people a taste of the Market House before they head to the river,” he stated.
The festival will feature speakers, authors, live music, vendors and more. The Susquehanna National Heritage Area will offer free Wilderness Inquiry Canoemobile tours on the Susquehanna River from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring a fleet of 24-foot, 10-passenger canoes. Trolley tours will run throughout the day, giving participants a chance to hear some of the history of the area. From 7 to 9 p.m., haunted trolley tours will be featured. “We’ll also have ‘Alba’ at the festival,” Vera said. “She’ll be dressed up like the Albatwitch, and she’ll carry a basket of apples. People can take selfies with her.”
Vera estimated there will be more than 50 vendors on-site for the festival, featuring everything from handmade jewelry to food. “We’ll have a variety of nonprofits and organizations represented, including Raven Ridge Wildlife Center, which is always very popular,” said Fisher. “They’ll be bringing some of their animals.” The Indian Steps Museum will have a table, and the Lancaster PA Ghostbusters will be onsite. Local churches, including Holy Trinity Catholic Church and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, will operate food stands. Live music will be performed by Dillweed, Stone Soup, Sound Method and Tang Moon.
Inside Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, a variety of speakers will present programs. Speakers will include Mary Fabian, founder of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project; Eric Altman, executive director of the PA Bigfoot Society; and Tim Renner, creator of the “Strange Familiars” podcast.
Vera noted that Albatwitch Day draws visitors from all over the East Coast, as far away as Virginia, New York and New Jersey. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Columbia Historic Preservation Society, located at 21 N. Second St.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 25, at the library, 1184 Anderson Ferry Road, Mount Joy. The Makerfest is an opportu-nityto showcase the talents of people who live in the community, said Jan Betty, director ofchildren and youth at the library. “We really have a large variety and something for everyone,” she commented.“We’ll have everything from art Engle Printing Co E DELIVER JUN. 22, 2022 PLEA POSTMASTER:
to jewelry to trains to music.”Participants will include Jim Flowers, who makes scale replica facades of local buildings, as well as a Cricut demonstration, a doll clothes maker, a woodturner and a potter. Other makers will include a baker, a modeltrain maker and an embroidery artist and cross-stitcher. Betty, known to library patrons as “Miss Jan,” will provide instructions for a make-and-take boomerang, and the library’s pollinator garden in front of the library will be showcased at
the event. La Belle Bouchee willbe on-site with a food truck featuring homemade baked goods and coffee drinks. Betty noted that the event will also feature lots of giveaways. Many of the artisans will be set up outside the library,but the event will be held rain orshine, so the festivities will move indoors if necessary, Betty stated. Makers will not sell their items at the Makerfest, but will instead showcase their talents, with the goal of inspiring others. “Most will be demonstrating their
crafts, but a few are hands-on,” Betty said. “We hope folks will investigate a new hobby or learnmore about something they havean interest in.” She said the Makerfest also serves another purpose - to bring people into the library. She encourages visitors to sign up forthe Summer Reading Programwhile at the Makerfest and then explore anything that piqued their interest at the event. “If you find something you want to learn more about, we have a whole library full of books that you may borrow for free,” Bettyremarked.

Steve Loewen, chair of the Vintage Sights and Sounds New Holland Antique Car, Gas Engine, and Tractor Show, remembers the exact moment more than 40 years ago when he suggested holding the show to New HollandBand representative GeorgeWeaver.
“In 1981, we were doing theMemorial Day Pilgrimage,” recalledLoewen. “George was in the New Holland Band, and we were in the cemetery at Bowmansville. I said, ‘George, let’s have a car show in NewHolland.’” Loewen explained that a show had been held for two years by a local organization, but he did notthink that would continue. “I wanted to keep the show going,” he said. “It had been extremely successful.” Weaver thought the car show would be a great project for the New Holland Band. “Music and antique cars go together well,” saidWeaver, and he suggested the slo-gan “Vintage Sights and Sounds.” Engle Printing Co SE DELIVER JUN. 29, 2022 PLE STMASTER:
On Sunday, July 10, the 41st annual show will be held in the New Holland Community Memorial Park, 400 E. Jackson St., New Holland.The field will open for car parking at 9 a.m. According to Loewen, the theme of the show will be “Pickup Trucks.” As in the past, vehicles to be judged must register by noon on Saturday, July 9. The Sights And Sounds Of Yesteryear JUNE 29, 2022 SERVING THELOCALCOMMUNITIES SINCE1954 Loewen noted that he has beenasked if an El Camino is a pickuptruck, and he said he would allowthe vehicle to be registered as atruck. John Riggs, who won best inshow at the New Holland event afew years ago for his bright orange1937 pickup, said that he agreesthat the hybrid vehicles should qualify. Riggs, who was a mechanic for 39 years, devoted himself torestoring his pickup and spent sixyears on the project, enlisting a lit-tle help from each of his grandchildren along the way. “This is my seventh year showing it,” said Riggs, who brought home two trophies from the 2021 Spring Car Cruise in Ocean City, Md.

BY FRANCINE FULTON Engle Printing Co PLEASE DELIVER JUN. 29, 2022 POSTMASTER:
Donald Cairns of Parkesburg, who has been farming for 25 years and is
also devoted to community service, has beennamed a 2022 Mid-Atlantic Master Farmer.
According to www.midatlantic masterfarmer.com, the Master Farmer designation is a lifetime achievement award in agriculture that recognizes “exemplary role models of outstanding management, land stewardship and community leadership.”Candidates for the award are nominated by individuals or agriculture organizations. This year, the applications were viewed and scored by a three-judge panel in February and March, and final selections were made in late March. “I was very honored. It’s pretty prestigious,” said Cairns, who said
S he does not know for sure who
nominated
him for the award. “From what I understand, they look for people who have done excellentwork with land stewardship and conservation practices and have been successful financially
with agriculture. A big part of it is community service.”Cairns is very involved in ChesterCounty 4-H and has been a volunteer for more than 30 years. “I have been on the board of the Chester County 4-H Center since 1989, andI have coached the 4-H livestock judging team for about 15 years,” he noted. Cairns is also a member of the Chester County Agricultural Land Preservation Board. At his farm, Cairns is responsible for growing 1,600 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat. “I have had cattle in the past, but the bulk of the farm operation is crop farming,” he explained. “The
wheat goes into the local bakery market. The corn and soybeans go into livestock feed and horse feed.Local feed mills buy our corn R
and soybeans.”He noted that working the farm, which he and his wife, Kelly, purchased 25 years ago, is a year-round job. “Even
in the offseason we arehauling grain,” he said, adding that farming practices have changed through the years. “We have transitioned to modern conservation practices. We work really hard to stay ahead of the
curve as far as conservation work and preserving the soil.”Part of that effort, he explained,is not tilling the soil, which is when tools are used to stir up the soil prior to planting. “We plant right into the soil without tillage,” he stated. “When you do tillage, it makes it more likely to erode. (Not tilling) protects the soil.”
BY ANN MEAD ASH “I grew up here and graduated from Pequea Valley High School (PVHS),” said Jesse Bills, who became the pastor of Pequea Evangelical Congregational (E.C.) Church, 5482 Old Philadelphia Pike, Gap, in July 2021. Bills, who graduated from PVHS in 2009, began attending the church in his 20s. “I didn’t go to college,” said Bills. “I sold cars at Rocky Ridge in Ephrata for about five years.”
About 2018, Bills began to feel the call to ministry. In 2020, hebegan interning at Grace Communi-ty Church in Willow Street and attending Evangelical Seminary in Myerstown. In 2020 and into 2021, while Pequea E.C. worked with an interim pastor, Bills preached there monthly, interned in Willow Street, and attended seminary. He became the solo pastor at Pequea in July 2020. He began working at Grace Community as the pastor of discipleship during that same year, andin May 2022, he graduated fromseminary. He continues to serve both churches in those roles. Pequea has a membership of about 50, and Bills recognizes the congregation’s “passion to see children inchurch again.” “The church has a real heart for kids and families,” he said, noting that a few young families attend regularly. Church members are preparing the church for the days when they might hear more small feet moving through the building. “They have put a lot of resources into trying to create a nicer nursery and modernizing it,” said Bills. “It is their No. 1 desire to see (more) children and youth and families here.” See New pastor pg 9 BY FRANCINE FULTON See Master Farmer pg 5 A This August, Freedom Life Church will launch a new ministry, Freedom Academy.

SSTP provides students with learning opportunities that focus on intensive student-teacher inter-action, advanced-level learning andresearch and problem-solving experiences. The program is open to aca-demically talented students enter-ing grade eight through grade 12 in the fall. “It’s meant to be for students who
O are excited about the idea of coming in (to the classroom),” said Ryan Wagner, co-director for SSTP. “Anystudent who has an inclinationtoward the sciences or an excitement about the sciences and a strong academic ability … those are the ones who will have the best experiences.
” Subjects that will be coveredduring the week include psychology, chemistry, biology, Earth sciences,math and chemistry. “There is adiversity of different workshopsand practical experiences,” said Wagner. “They get background information and context andthen some instruction on using(the equipment) and there are activities and experiments. The content of the workshops rangesdramatically.”For example, in the math session,students will learn geometry andalgebra, and they will take part in calculation exercises. “The students willstill be engaged in an activity, but its classroom-based,” Wagner noted. One of the sessions will be a streamecology workshop, where students will explore a stream first-hand.
“Another workshop that week is aforensic workshop where the processor will present lab-based experi-ments with DNA, and (the students) will isolate DNA and analyze it. It is a molecular biology-based experience,”explained Wagner. “I have a psychology professor talking about the teenbrain. It (will be) about memory andhormones and how the brain func-tions and develops as a teenager.”He said that the diversity ofsubjects is what makes the program so popular “What I am mostproud of is that it’ s multifaceted.They are not just coming in for aweek of biology or chemistry,” hesaid. “Our goal is to provide a resource for these kids in the community.
